Correct answer: E
Concept
A place-name question is resolved by matching the exact named feature to its officially recorded jurisdiction.
When the same or a near-identical name is used for more than one protected area, every supported referent must be checked; the result is determinate only if they all map to the same offered set.
Application
The Goa Forest Department places Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary on Chorão Island in Goa. Kerala Tourism also uses Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary for Thattekkad in Kerala. Neither documented location is in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, or West Bengal.
Contrast
Uttar Pradesh is outside the documented Goa–Kerala location set.
Madhya Pradesh is outside the documented Goa–Kerala location set.
West Bengal is outside the documented Goa–Kerala location set.
A multiple-state interpretation would require one sanctuary to lie in at least two named state jurisdictions; the records instead describe separate protected areas in Goa and Kerala.
The complement of the three named states contains both supported locations, Goa and Kerala.
Cross-check
Checking either official referent gives the same set relation: the state lies outside all three listed states. Therefore the result is neither Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, nor West Bengal.
Therefore, the answer value is “None of the above”.
